MOVED ... but not far because I'm always at Blogspot but I'm in the Beta now.

Good points, especially for me: the very strong writing skills and especially the categorization of the topics I discuss.
The downside, especially for you: my change of address ... sorry for your links!

I started transferring my old posts but I do not go on ... So spend my time writing new notes all the more that I can not transfer your comments ...

hope this change will not bother you not too much. See you soon. * Mary

0-14

O-14 is a commercial tower designed by the innovative office of RUR Architecture in collaboration with Shahab Lutfi .

Located in the business district of Dubai , the building height of 91 meters will be a prime place on the esplanade of waterfront

The 0-14 is designed as a tower sheathed a "skin" of 40 cm perforated over 1000 bays

... This double-skin not only serves bearing structure but also acts as a Passive solar cooling system (*).

Indeed, within + / - 1 meter between the front of the glass creates, among other things, a sort of chimney which allows cooling of the hot air outside before its passage in Local (thus saving money, more environmentally sound)

By its geometry particular, the structure animates the facade gives the building's visual identity and a strong personality permeates the interior. This geometry is not only decorative , it ensures the most efficient overall stability of the construction. The exoskeleton allows release the core building to create open spaces that offer flexibility significant for internal fittings.

is primarily what differentiates this building thereof ! Aesthetically, they seem to have been designed in the same spirit when it is absolutely not the case ...

(*) The passive solar cooling: we can greatly reduce, even eliminate, the need for an air conditioner Conventional: This is, firstly, to isolate the building against warm air and light energy from the Sun and, secondly, to evacuate to the outside, using of natural ventilation, heat gain due to equipment and occupants.

URBANCACTUS

This "Urban Cactus " is a housing project designed by the UCX Architects for the Rotterdam Vestia Feijenoord / Estrade Projecten.

Mainly because of its strategic location at the end of a port area, the architects wanted to conceptualize the project as an element belonging "a vein green rather than try to s' attach to the surrounding urban structure.

The Urban Cactus contains 98 residential units spread over 19 floors .

Its distinctive aesthetic escape anyone: the building is defined by its outdoor spaces giving it a very unique identity.

On each floor, outdoor spaces have irregular shapes, it helps maximize areas of terraces and gardens in town so precious. Furthermore, this alternation of open space to create time to other areas of double height, each unit receives more natural light a "typical stacked composition.

"Deskrama is a low-cost interactive space browser for three dimensional architectural designs. Moving its light-weight LCD panel on a plan drawing of a building displays on the LCD panel a three dimensional interior view of the building model as if it were placed on the plan and sectioned at the position where the panel touches the drawing. The key idea is a spatial synchronization of different architectural representations such as a two dimensional abstraction and photo realistic three dimensional perspective."

Frank Gehry: Art + Architecture

The term "starchitect " suits him very well. His fame reached the designers of haute couture, Hollywood stars ... Even without being fond of architecture, nobody can ignore Frank Gehry and his extraordinary creations , against the foot of ambient post-modernism foremost among them the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Frank Owen Goldenberg known to O'Gehry Frank is one of the architects who have profoundly revolutionized the forms and ideas in architecture has arrived turn cities into open-air museums which is exceptional.

Some even use the term "genius " to describe his ability to develop structures of increasing complexity. Frank Gehry has exploded left his formal imagination to generate a series hyper stylized works recognizable

all ... But there is, as always, downside . Some critics are quick to say that Gehry is made in a mold and that its projects tend to repeat themselves but I find it quite ironic and it's a defect of the current system: the architects offer a clear style and customers ask them reproductions of this style: branding becomes the architect of his trap.

The star system has affected the architecture late, compared to other arts and cultural sectors. Through starchitects as Gehry, the public is now open to "more experimental works" while productions of Le Corbusier have been frankly hated at the time of their creation ...

Graft Architekturbüro

Who would have thought a dental clinic could be so aesthetic?

Certainly not my real phobia of the dentist. The clinic called KU64 is located in Berlin and was designed by the architectural firm Graft .

The name of this office does not reminded me much and yet ... These 3
Germans Willemeit Thomas, Wolfram Putz and Lars Krückeberg, all in their mid-thirties, are the "trendy new architects" of Hollywood. They run all the architectural firm "Graft" in Berlin, Los Angeles and Beijing! They have recently been at the forefront with their Project Hotel Berlin Q! where the walls become furniture.

This time, addressing the design of a place that most of us fear, these young architects sought to create a comfortable and optimistic (which work!).

The position of the clinic on 5 and 6 levels of an office building gave the designers the idea of a scenario beach with large windows facing south located. The

" sandbanks " design concept, evoke the banks of the Baltic Sea.

The windows in the rooms care leave to spend the day in such a way that once the patient sitting, he (according to developers) "the feeling of being in a lounge chair with just a wall that would protect from the wind" ...

It would almost feel like going to the dentist ... I said "almost" !

A architect is a man who knows very little about a very large number of subjects and, gradually, less and know least on a growing number of things, until he knows virtually nothing about almost everything ...

Instead, an engineer is a man who knows a lot in very limited and that, during his career, knows more about topics more and more limited, until 'that finally he knows practically everything about almost anything ... A

contractor starts with knowing everything about everything but ended up not knowing anything about anything, as he begins to ask nothing about everything, but eventually ask everything about nothing ... The

The future of lower Manhattan

Three architects who design the site where once stood the World Trade Trade Center in New York, destroyed September 11, 2001, have unveiled their plans last Thursday, giving a first overview of the future "lower Manhattan. The British

Norman Foster and Richard Rogers and Japanese Fumihiko Maki designed each one of the towers to be built by 2012 around the memorial of the attacks.

3 architects for three distinct architectural approaches:

Dubbed "200 Greenwich Tower" or " Tower No. 2," the tower designed by British architectural firm Foster and Partners rise to 382 meters high and will include 78 floors. It will have such an apartment of about 15,000 m2 "is a powerful symbol of faith in the future," said Norman Foster. "The impressive height of the tower celebrates the spirit from the outset led Manhattan to build tall, and diamond-shaped summit will be a landmark in the line of skyscrapers in the city."

Designed by Richard Rogers, the "175 Greenwich Tower", or "turn No. 3" will be 352 meters tall with 71 floors, it leaves ample room for transparency. Built on three floors, the entrance will include a view of the memorial.

Finally, the "150 Greenwich Tower", or "turn No. 4", designed by Fumihiko Maki completes the package. 288 meters high, this tower of 61 floors will offer a minimalist design and a color moving by daylight.

Composed of three buildings, the iconic Freedom Tower and a memorial to victims September 11, the future World Trade Center (whose construction is already underway) should be released in 2012 .

station without front

Located in the Guillemins at the foot of the hill of Cointe station Liège-Guillemin was an important crossroads of the Belgian rail network . This is the second station in Wallonia number of passengers . It is also international train station, in allowing the ICE and the Thalys.

Designed at the dawn of the railway, the track layout and station platforms Guillemins had at one time or another, be reviewed in depth to ensure continuity with the new high speed lines in progress construction.

After international competition, the project was entrusted to Catalan architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.

It was certainly chosen for its global reputation as an architect, but also for its experience in design station, which has made him a dozen in the world (including 2 European: station Stadelhofen in Zurich and Gare de Lyon-Saint Exupery TGV ).

This project is very large accompanied by a reshaping of the district Guillemins .

there is wrong with the back of the spoon: Calatrava going to create a large breakthrough linking the station to the Meuse: a huge boulevard including water bodies, extended by a footbridge spanning the Maas to the Palais des Congres.

A parking area is also built behind the station with direct access onto the highway. It will be the only station with direct highway access in Europe!

Calatrava's work lies between art, architecture and engineering . His constructions, inspired by his sculptures and drawings are genuine artistic creations . It defies the laws of gravity stretching disconcertingly metal structures

... According to the architect, one of the essential characteristics of this new station will be its lack of identifiable facade. It will be rather a place open and free access illustrating the principles of diffusion and communication which it is attached.
Instead of a traditional facade you will find that large openings marked by metal awnings overlooking the square outside the building.

[Features] Petite animation in computer graphics of the impressive future station.

The inauguration of the new station is planned for late 2007.

The Fallingwater as if you were there ...

Kasperg Maps that generally performs custom maps for the game Half-Life 2 , created a virtual model of the House the cascade of Frank Lloyd Wright.

For the record, the House of the cascade (or Fallingwater Edgar Kaufmann house) is a house built for the businessman Edgar Kaufmann between 1935 and 1939 according to plans American architect Frank Lloyd Wright . It is situated between the villages of Mill Run and Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania United States along Bear River Run.

Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the first to create cantilevers and terraces to open house on the nature because the environment is a highlight of its architecture. The rock is everywhere inside the house and retaining walls are stone. is a real "shack" Robinson fortunate and remarkable architectural gesture.

At school, I loved this building and analyzing the virtual model (*), although it does not hyper-realism can better appreciate the "genius Architectural "FLW.

All owners "lounge bar" should take a look at technology iBar developed by the British company Betaminds Ltd. . (Simon Hänggi Abt and Markus).

With a particular system, the Ibar transforms a "single desk" into an interactive surface.

From what I understand, he combines the technology of a projector and a ITS (Intelligent Tracking System) which can detect any object on its surface.

His concept of interactivity is very interesting ... and then what we would not distract the pillars of bar ...

Garage luxury

For the release of its new "model Executive " C6, Citroën appealed to the architectural Neutral partners (Tapio Snellman and Christian Grou) to design a box suitable - by setting mean garage - to the aesthetics.

According to Christian Grou, the C6 is so unique that it deserved more than an ordinary building brick or concrete .

The architects have not been using the back of the spoon given that the garage costs about 3 times more expensive than the car itself ... in other words, it takes € 165,650 (in Britain).

The garage is designed as a sculpture (small Zaha's touch?) used to wrap the car, protect it (logic), but also expose the public (less logical).

curves of the building take their inspiration from those in the car and the walls are mostly sliding translucent. Another plus: the vision control glass that can switch between a transparent state to an opaque state under the influence of an electric current. The roof of the building in turn comes as a terrace perched in the garden.

Suffice to say it takes a lot to love his car to offer him "this jewel."
